Mike Tyson movie??

Bam Bam · 02-26-2008, 08:00 PM

Rumor is there's a movie in the works about Tyson's life. Supposedly Jaime Foxx would play Mike.

Thoughts?

I'd love to hear Jaime talk like Mike. Funny stuff. It's ludicrous! As mike would say...

Already made one

Tyson (1995) (TV)

Saw that one. Wasn't bad. Just don't know if Jamie Foxx would make a good Tyson. First guy was pretty convincing. Don't know about the market for a second movie.

well this would be a big Hollywood production....

who else would play him? Will Smith? lol

Who better to portray Tyson than Tyson. Of course need some make up to cover tats. They might even get live footage if Tyson gets hungry during filming.

Ears any one?

That would be 50x more interesting than what is going on with the heavyweights right now....

The original wasn't the greatest but a new one could be fun to watch.

Yes he did, in what may have been the worst boxing movie I have ever seen,
but in defence of that movie I never saw the 1995 Tyson movie so it might have been worse. Ali was played by child actor named Chip McAllister, and he looked a fair bit like Ali in his youth, and the only reason I bring this up is Chip and his wife won the Amazing Race a few years back, and I saw him on a talk show in Toronto, and he said in his youth he resembled Ali, and as an adult he more resembles George Foreman.LOL

Waste of time about a waste of a man. Watch him fight, thats all he's ever been worth.

Mad Bomber · 02-27-2008, 11:42 AM

Well I certainly can't disagree with that. The first time I ordered a Tyson fight on PPV was when he lost to Buster Douglas, and I enjoyed that one.

There's a rumour that Jason Alexander will be cast to play Tyson at the end of his career. Michael Richard has been approached to play Riddick Bowe.

And the part of Don King and Robin Givins will both be played by the devil.

Isn't that below his dignity?

mh2365 · 02-27-2008, 02:33 PM

Okay Saddam Hussein can play both parts ... Robin Givins should have played the succubus (sp?) in that South Park episode ... what a horrible woman.

JohntheHammerHeyes · 02-27-2008, 05:01 PM

I am surprised Mike hasn't cashed in and done a book by now.
